This is exactly the same as saying to a software developer: “I was going to ask you to write me some software to do this, but I’ll just get AI to do it instead”
No, because we wont be compelled to answer…
Good for ya if you solved one of your problem with AI.
Good luck tho.“I used to do programming when you could put code on your MySpace page”
Let me ruffle all your feathers: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6736742/
Well that was unexpectedly interesting.
Thank you for sharing.
Where in that document does it say that patients should decide on their own to stop taking antibiotics because they “feel better now”?
This is something one can bring up with the doctor who prescribed it, but not a decision to make on feelings.
Where in my post did I say that patients should decide on their own to stop taking medication?
I tried to share some information, that show nothing is black and white and only because something is believed by many, that something can still be wrong.
The meme you commented under is about someone getting attention by prematurely stopping to take antibiotics.
If you don’t want people to assume what you mean, please add context.
Came here to post this
That is interesting. But a consideration for the doctor, not the layperson. Everyday people should still take the full course prescribed and hope their physician has prescribed the right dose.
You are absolutely right. People should trust their doctors, but doctors should also update their knowledge.
Here’s hoping they do, yeah. I suspect most do, at least where I live.
Jessica Fletcher eh. 🕵️♂️
“👍”
“Oof. I wonder what I did to piss them off?”
I just had a thought, do they still put a shitload of antibiotics into animal feeds on factory farms? Doesn’t that contribute to antibiotic resistance?
We still give them shitloads yeah, but it’s complicated. Changes have been made globally. There’s basically no risk to us. The antibiotics don’t get into our food, and the superbugs that might breed aren’t viable in humans. Wild animals still pose more risk.
and the superbugs that might breed aren’t viable in humans.
But diseases jump from non-humans to humans all the time?
At least, Wikipedia chooses to spell out the sentence “Most human diseases originated in non-humans” and lists a who’s who of pandemics as such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZoonosisOr do you mean something different?
Iirc it doesn’t because the antibiotics don’t target the same bacteria that makes humans sick.
Until those diseases jump the species gap
I don’t think that’s super common for bacteria. You see it more with viruses.
Yersinia Pestis has entered the chat
I didn’t say it never happens, but it’s pretty rare.
oh my man/lass, next time you buy a tangerine have a look at the label on what they put on the skin
They also have to remember that doesn’t count what gets put in the ground to fertilize that plant to make it grow.
Yeah, from what I understand, countries try to regulate the use of antibiotics, so that we don’t blow the most potent ones, a.k.a. new ones, right away. But on some level, we’re reliant on regularly discovering new antibiotics, which isn’t great.
Just apply some casual emotional manipulation by suggesting self harm and watch the other person trying to ensure you don’t harm yourself.
Is exactly what “Jessica Fletcher” is suggesting. Please don’t…
That not self harm… Stopping anti biotics early can inrease the chance of creating antibiotic resistant bacteria which affect everyone on earth.
You completely missed the point of why a pharmacist would care about this and attributed malice where there is none.
What you just said, is that stopping the treatment early is detrimental to the human race. Did you perhaps mean the opposite?
Otherwise I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue with me that one should fulfill their treatment plan. I already agree.
I’m not attributing malice. I’m calling it for what it is. Emotional manipulation, intentional or not is beyond the point.
What you just said, is that stopping the treatment early is detrimental to the human race. Did you perhaps mean the opposite?
No, I didn’t. Understanding why that is the case is the key to understanding this post.
You specifically said that it was threatening self-harm. That is not true.
You are now trying to move the goalposts. I will accept that as you understanding that what you said was not correct.
If you are promoting antibiotic resistant bacteria in your body, is that not self harm? I sure think it is.
Not all self harm is cutting, starving, or suicide.
The reason why a pharmacists would care is more the fact that once the resistant bacteria gets out of your body and into the world it reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics for every human.
The push to get people to finish their courses of antibiotics is done to keep antibiotics effective for everyone.
Yeah. So we agree that she’s threatening self harm (minimum) to solicit a response from someone. Emotional manipulation.
I’m glad we managed to argue our way to what we already concluded from the start.
It’s still not threatening self harm 🤣.
I worked at a hospital for 20 years… in IT, I wanna start scolding just reading this!
this gets more then just pharmacists excited!
My elderly parents showing me clearly AI videos of a $30 robot puppy…
I couldn’t convince them it was AI. I tried to explain CGI with shit like Pixar and Disney movies but it didn’t work. NICOO puppy
That shit should be illegal.
They must have known that CGI in Pixar and Disney movies is very different from an AI-generated video and concluded that you had no idea what you were talking about based on that inaccuracy.
“Computers can make up things that look real. Like superhero movies and kid movies (disney/Pixar). This AI crap just made it cheaper and easier so there’s lots of fake stuff everywhere”
Don’t worry, didn’t intend that seriously, was just an attempt at a knowledgeable/novice reversal joke.
Fr! Not even pharmacist, just anyone with a passive knowledge of germ theory!
Haha! Yeah, I’m just a GP’s son and even I wouldn’t resist the urge on that one!
I worked at a hospital for 20 years… in IT,
Hi there, I work in a small lab just upstairs and was wondering if it’s okay if I spoof a few MAC addresses to get wired internet and then use my personal VPN to torrent a few GB’s of films and games? I’m sure you understand
I mean, a few GB would probably be done in a few seconds, so no big deal, just don’t seed past 1.5. The VPN actually makes it easier on the routers if there’s any NAT going on because the VPN handles managing the individual connection forwarding table.
Now if you said a few TB, that might be an issue.
Or of they are a nurse, ask them which home remedy is best for burns: toothpaste or powder coffee?
Vaseline
Get fancy and use Vicks
Butter
Grapefruit poultice
tell them to put a whole onion in their sock and call it a day
Just tell them the joke was weak, and move on with your life.
Yellow Mustard.
Habanero juice mixed with vicks.
A gallon of beans
that’s coffee.
Would you like some nut juice with your bean soup? (Adding almond milk to coffee.)
i prefer oat thank you
I’ve heard it tastes better than milk on coffee. Gotta try.
i think so. it gives a little carb flavor without being to carb-y.
Vanilla soy latte is a three bean soup!
Tiger balm.
This is now wrong advice, it’s driving growth of antibiotic resistance. Refer to links others have posted here.
Nah, confirmation bias is strong in here.
Everyone is acting as if we are advocating for the people to decide on their own to stop talking medication.
What we are doing is presenting information that contradict their beliefs. People hate that, so they create a strawman and attack that…
If you have any friend who is ignoring you, you don’t have a friend.
People can be busy or tired or anything else. You aren’t owed 100% engagement all of the time, even from your friends.
It’s obvious who is just busy, and who doesn’t like you, but won’t end the friendship. Just ghost their asses.
Not true. Sometimes I’m just too busy or need that solitude
I can tell you appart, you know?
Your brain assumes that and has convinced your consciousness of this mystical telephatic ability because it always looks for confirmation for your theories, but theory was shite to begin with
Ok, so say, you spend time with another friend, but when I want to spend time, you are busy.
Is that so fucking hard to tell appart?
Then there’s people you know are, or would be busy at certain times.
One of the best ways to get information out of people who are hoarding knowledge is to say something so blatantly false to them that they can’t help but lecture you on why you’re wrong.
ah yes. Murphy’s law.
ಠ_ಠ
Uhm actually, that is Cunningham’s law after Howard Cunningham, developer of the first wiki!
Murphy’s law states that “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong” smhmh.
Um actually you’re wrong, what you’re referencing is Poe’s law,
Cunninghams law is “whoever smelt it, dealt it”I thought Cunningham’s law had to do with over-intelligent pigs
Nah, over-intelligent pigs is covered in “Animal Farm”, a classic dystopian novel by
George OrwellAldous Huxley shit sorry I accidentally misremembered it right.I thought that was from the book 2001 based off the movie.
No you’re thinking of Rubik Kube’s for which he invented the the Hoover Dam
That’s true now, but Murphy actually said “if there’s two ways of doing something people will do it wrong every time”
What can go wrong will go wrong was Finagle’s law until Murphy came along with a better name for a similar rule
But Murphy’s rule was better before as it gave a solution: ensure there’s only one way to do a thing
Murphy was a test subject for acceleration tests on rocket sleds. One run was ruined as all the accelerometers had been plugged in the wrong way, so no acceleration data was collected
If you have a friend who’s
a pharmacistnot a dipshit…If you’re ever lost in a forest, and you want to be rescued, just start building a house. Someone will magically appear to ask if you have a building permit.
If you’re in the desert, start mixing a Dry Martini, an Englishman will appear to tell your recipe is wrong and his is the correct one.
In telecoma version is take a fibre optic cable with you and burry it. A backhoe will promptly arrive to dig it up.
Put on a pair of headphones and start listening to something. Then set about to making shelter or building a fire or something. You’ll be rescued as soon as your hands are full because someone will come along to ask you the single most inane question of your life.
As a joke it’s perfect 😂 but also: please don’t actually do this—finishing antibiotics as prescribed (or calling your doc if you’re having side effects) is the real pro tip.
Recent research has found that the recommended length of a course of antibiotics is basically just a guess and doesn’t have any hard science backing it.
I’ve even seen research that suggests that not finishing the full course if you feel better helps prevent resistant bacteria from taking over (because the antibiotics are killing the bacteria that are outcompeting them).
See, the logic I heard re: resistance is the opposite. An infection is only an infection when the bacterial levels are high enough to cause symptoms. Anything below that is definitionally at a level where your body can at worst manage those bacteria without triggering symptoms. You can still be contagious, though.
So, when you don’t finish your antibacterial regimen but instead stop when you feel better, you are maximizing the culture size of bacteria with some resistance, creating maximal chance for some resistant bacteria to spread. Finishing your regimen kills the most amount of bacteria; yes, the surviving ones at this point are the most resistant, but are at a small enough number that propagation and spread are far less probable.
There are studies linked in this post that disagree with that logic.
The logic you heard is the long held belief that’s being challenged with new evidence, and it takes a super long time to break the medical community of long held beliefs.
For example, even in the 90s medical schools were still teaching that you couldn’t get addicted to opioids if you were actually in pain.
And there are still psychiatrists that will say you can’t have autism because you can make eye contact with people, because that’s what the DSM5 says.
That may be true, but given that doctors are better equipped to understand the changing landscape of medical knowledge, it’s wisest to take medication as prescribed
Looks like we found the pharmacist.
We need one of these for every field.
I know you asked for CSV but it wasn’t showing up right so I saved it as PDF. Can I send that to you?
Sends it by taking a photo of the screen, which displays part of the PDF and some questionable browser tabs are clearly visible in the photo.

i wonder if hearing people talk about radiation as though it’s an infection that can spread from person to person makes other nuclear enthusiasts twitch as much as it makes me…
or hearing someone imply that any nuclear reactor can explode in exactly the same manner that an atomic bomb does “by accident”.
“OK, I unplugged the computer. … No, I still hear air moving. … What? You mean the footrest? Why would I unplug that?”
I would try Linux, but I’m not some command-line hacker type. I like a nice GUI and Linux just can’t compete with the big guys on that front with all the “packages” or whatever bloating up your knock-off OS.
Man… I get it. I’ve changed at least five windows machines to Linux in the past. This past fall, I was switch my HP spectre to Linux and bricked the fucking thing.
All of the security windows shit meant a bunch of bios changes, then out of nowhere it wouldnt charge the battery.
No idea how to fix it now that the battery and/or laptop won’t recognize the power plugged into any of the usbc ports. Ive tried different chargers, different outlets, and leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, but no life at all. No power means I cant restore to default bios, and Linux wouldnt install because once I was done fucking with the security, i didnt have enough battery to complete the install.
It’s fucking embarrassing.
I then gave up and upgraded to a gaming laptop with a 5070ti, but I’d love to resurrect that old one if anybody has any tips.
I’d try one of the big Linuxes, such as Ubuntu, they often are more compatible than other Linuxes. Have you tried searching for “Linux on HP spectre” to see if there’s any special configuration required
Ubuntu is what I was endeavoring to install.
I googled all sorts of things to no avail. Now, software solutions seem moot because it wont power on or even charge.
I should google “how to charge a laptop battery when it’s removed” or “do new laptop batteries come pre-charged” … I feel like if I can get some juice, i can reset the bios to default and hopefully undo my power issue. Then, i can start this whole thing over again with extra caution.
Resetting the BIOS involves removing the internal CR2032 battery. Not a charged (main) battery.
Is that a fact? Well, maybe i’ll give that a shot if it’s easy enough. Thanks for the heads up.
Google it for the specific device you have, especially how to open it.
Are you trolling?
I don’t think so? I know people here love Linux. That’s great. I just have to assume those folks aren’t gamers/power users, because why would I pick an OS that doesn’t support those things? It’s crazy to me. It feels like the people at Linux are trying to lock me out of my own computer, which I own! And I can’t imagine someone’s little hobby coding project is very secure!? Correct me if I’m wrong! I just don’t get it.
Oh OK, you’re not trolling.
You must be joking!
(I’ve got a MIRV correction missile fueling up in my silo now, ready to launch in case you’re not. That’s why I’m asking for so much confirmation, 'cause those things are expensive!)
